Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the recordation of the final parcel map for SPR No. 2022-110, which was processed under Senate Bill 9 (SB9) which took effect January 1, 2022.
Summary:
The tentative parcel map, which was submitted through the City's Site Plan Review process under SPR No. 2022-110, is the City's first tentative parcel map seeking approval under Senate Bill (SB) 9, which took effect January 1, 2022. Under SB 9, known as the "California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency" (HOME) Act, this bill streamlines the process for a homeowner to create a duplex or subdivide an existing lot. Typically, subdividing property is subject to the discretionary review and approval process (i.e., review and approval by the Planning Commission) but under SB 9, qualifying lot splits are only subject to a ministerial process (i.e., staff level review).
The parcel map as proposed per SPR No. 2022-110 is seeking to subdivide an 11,184 square foot parcel zoned R-1-5 (Single-Family Residential, 5,000 square foot minimum lot area) into two parcels. Parcel 1 is 5,125 square feet while Parcel 2 is 5,587 square feet, which meet the minimum lot area for an R-1-5 zoned lot.
